I dont ever leave reviews but, The Comfort Inn University, pleasantly surprised me!!! The location was great right by the highway, surrounded by all the stores u could need (Walmart, Dollar store, etc), plenty of restaurants, and 20 mins or so from the beaches. The staff was inviting from the start. The hotel room was cleaned really nice and the facilities itself was clean. The breakfast was awesome!!!... I am a stickler about getting a continental breakfast at least, when I get a room, but this spread they had was Fantastic!!! Fluffy eggs, sausage gravy, sausages, bacon, waffle maker, bagels, muffins, n much more along with juices, and even some kiwi infused water which was revitalizing, especially after a long night lol. I throughly enjoyed my stay, and this hotel will be one in which, I will revisit on my next trip back to the beach. Thanks for the hospitality!

Great value for a wonderful stay

As a solo female traveler, my priority is safety and cleanliness at any hotel. This place offered a great stay at an affordable price. The front desk was extremely friendly, and the breakfast crew kept hot items stocked. My bed was comfortable and I enjoyed a good night's rest -- even with a lively bar next door. The parking area was well lit and the front desk staff was very present, keeping an eye on the comings and goings of guests. The hotel itself is showing some wear and tear, but the experience here was lovely. Truly as good as it gets before spending double or triple the amount at a luxury hotel.

Better than my next stay!

Stayed in 609 where apparently there’s a decent access point for WiFi. Got work done and enjoyed the stay. Staff was excellent and breakfast was good. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable!

Eh, not worth it

Asked for a specific room because the last time we stayed there, the WiFi was perfect. Unfortunately, it was dirty so I had to get one half the hallway down where there apparently isn’t an access point. So the Internet disconnected a lot and I was unable to get work done remotely. This seems like a VERY basic thing. Neighbors were “doing the deed” which made a hammering sound at 5am. It woke us up. Maintenance doesn’t fix things the correct way; but rather makes it work for the time being. All doors slam and rattles the entire building. I skipped breakfast both days this stay; but it’s normally good.
